Margevans....What can one say to you... I have seen so much pain in my lifetime. Some that not any drug could help, so I held the person while they screamed....It does wear you down. I know you get tired. And I know that tired leads to depression. Please do know that people out here do care when others are in pain. I just want to cry when I hear a plea like this. We will all share your pain one day. I wish with all my heart that I could take your pain and illness away. But all I can say is I am here if you need to talk, or scream, or just complain. Its ok to complain you know. And it is better to cry. Dont try to hold it in. And dont try to be strong for every one else. You are in pain. you are hurting. Everyone will still love you if you break down and admitt it. Thats what I told my dear husband when he was dieing. And I meant it. My heart goes out to you . You are such an asset to many threads here. Just want you to know we miss you when you are not around. Just a TBDfriend, but I am your friend. Hope tomorrow is a better day. Donna

Coming from personal and professional experience, please make an appointment with a doctor you feel comfortable with. Now, is not the time to go without help. Please pick up the phone and dial, now. The hardest thing to do when depression sets in is to take action - yet making yourself take action is the one way out. Please take action.

thanks,I had an appt with my counselor Wed,we have no gasoline,I mean we are in a crisis here,crazy,but true.My appt was cancelled.The counselor's wife is pregnant,due any time and he was conserving his gas to get her to the hospital.

I have no insurance.I just have to get thru it.If the pain gets to the point,we have enough gas to get me to the er.

I hate the er.I went with a letter from my dr saying to admit me after an appt.They wouldn't even look at the letter.

Migraine is hard enough to get seen,they are trained to triage migraine/chronic pain patients last,and I mean last.You are not just scum,you are the scum beneath the scum.They think you should go to your dr.during reg hrs.

Well,the clinic is closed today and they don't have the med that er does.I have to have meds thru an iv.So,if I get to that point,I'll go.

Marge, Depression is even more debilitating than pain. When you do get to talk with someone giving out meds, please say something about your depression. There are meds for that which can help you mobilze your other defenses. Do not give in to the hopelessness. It's very real but it is only temporary
